Quotes from Neville Goddard

Here, to pray means to give thanks for already having what you desire. Only persistency in the assumption of the wish fulfilled can cause those subtle changes in your mind which result in the desired change in your life.

When ye pray believe that ye have received and it shall be so. All things are possible to him who believes. Make the impossible possible through your belief; and the impossible (to others) will embody itself in your world.

You give beauty for ashes when you concentrate your attention on things as you would like them to be rather than on things as they are. You give joy for mourning when you maintain a joyous attitude regardless of unfavourable circumstances. You give praise for the spirit of heaviness when you maintain a confident attitude instead of succumbing to despondency.

Your assumption, to be effective, cannot be a single isolated act; it must be a maintained attitude of the wish fulfilled.

The time it takes your assumption to become fact, your desire to be fulfilled, is directly proportionate to the naturalness of your feeling of already being what you want to be — of already having what you desire.

The fact that it does not feel natural to you to be what you imagine yourself to be is the secret of your failure.

All things express their nature. As you wear a feeling it becomes your nature. It might take a moment or a year—it is entirely dependent upon the degree of conviction. As doubts vanish and you can feel "I AM this," you begin to develop the fruit or the nature of the thing you are feeling yourself to be.

Outer reforms are useless if the inner state is not changed. Success is gained not by imitating the outer actions of the successful but by right inner actions and inner talking.

All men have had proof of the power of faith. The faith that moves mountain is faith in yourself. No man has faith in God who lacks confidence in himself. Your faith in God is measured by your confidence in yourself. I and my Father are one, man and his God are one, consciousness and manifestation are one.

Not realising that all that he encounters is part of himself, he rebels at the thought that he has chosen the conditions of his life, that they are related by affinity to his own mental activity. Man must firmly come to believe that reality lies within him and not without.

He knows as a wise judge that every man perfectly expresses that which he is, as man, conscious of being. He knows that upon the changeless foundation of consciousness all manifestation rests, that changes of expression can be brought about only through changes of consciousness.

Although others have bodies, a life of their own, their reality is rooted in you, ends in you, as yours end in God.

In the midst of all the doubts and changing opinions of others, let there be a conviction, a firmness of belief, and you shall see the dry land; your belief will appear. The reward is to him that endureth unto the end. A conviction is not a conviction if it can be shaken. Your desire will be as clouds without rain unless you believe.

In spite of your appearance of freedom of action, you obey as everything else does, the law of assumption. Whatever you may think of the question of free will, the truth is your experiences throughout your life are determined by your assumptions — whether conscious or unconscious. An assumption builds a bridge of incidents that lead inevitably to the fulfillment of itself.

The world is a mirror wherein everyone sees himself reflected. The objective world reflects the beliefs of the subjective mind.

It is these psychological forward motions that produce your physical forward motions in time. Precognition permeates all the scriptures of the world.

It does not matter what the appearances round about you are like. All things make way for the coming of the Lord. I AM the Lord coming in the appearance of that which I am conscious of being. All the inhabitants of the earth cannot stay my coming or question my authority to be that which I AM conscious that I AM.

Yo y mi Padre somos uno... pero mi Padre es mayor que yo" (Evangelio según San Juan 14:28), por lo que su poder para crear, por muy grande que sea, no podría ser tan grande como la fuente de ese poder creativo; sin embargo, son uno.

The whole of creation exists in you, and it is your destiny to become increasingly aware of its infinite wonders and to experience ever greater and grander portions of it.

Whatsoever things are lovely and of good report, think on these things," for we become that with which we are en rapport.

you must assume that you already are what you want to be and then live by faith in this assumption

Everything in this world invites you to wander away from the I AM. Urged to believe in that pill, this diet, a man, you move away from your true identity and become lost as your consciousness wanders. But it doesn't really matter, for you cannot be lost, as the son of man will come.

El ser humano actúa como lo hace y pasa por las experiencias que tiene, porque su concepto de sí mismo es lo que es, y por ninguna otra razón.

Him, that is able to do more than you ask or think is your imagination, and the power that worketh in us in your attention.
